£28.70
The Pizzato FR 996-XL16M2 is a robust safety switch for hinged doors designed for monitoring hinged machine guards, access doors and protective panels on industrial machinery. As part of the Pizzato FR safety switch series, it provides direct mechanical guard-position monitoring for machine safety and industrial automation applications.
The FR 996 family uses a 2NC slow-action B9 contact block with positive-opening operation, providing two normally closed contacts for safety-related guard monitoring. Movement of the hinged guard mechanically operates the switch, allowing opening of the protective door to be detected by an appropriately designed machine safety control system.
The FR 996-XL16M2 combines the FR-series technopolymer housing with an M20×1.5 threaded conduit entry and the XL16 hinged-door configuration. Its robust construction and IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding production machinery, automated equipment and OEM machine-building installations.
Hinged-door safety switches provide direct position monitoring for movable protective guards surrounding hazardous machinery. Movement of the hinged guard mechanically operates the switch contacts, allowing the safety control system to detect when the protective door or panel moves away from its intended safe position.
The Pizzato FR 996-XL16M2 combines this direct mechanical operating principle with two normally closed slow-action contacts and positive opening. Its compact FR-series construction and metric cable entry make it suitable for reliable guard monitoring across production, processing and automated machinery installations.
